Leap of faith

It seems people are angry at you whenever you use it, even on attempts to save their puny lives.

In an EoTs match just now, a paladin on my team fell on the piece of land wich is next to the flag ground on a lower level, he wanted to heal himself but I pulled him up and penanced him, at the moment I pressed Penance, he got deathgripped by a death knight and killed. Now it doesn't matter if he was pulled by me or not, he would have died anyways because that dk would have gripped him anyways. He then got mad at me and proceeded to type in caps that I caused him to die.

Also we had the flag but the alliance had the flag zone under control (where it spawns) so our team decided not to cap just yet. I did not read this text and pulled the fc to the cap spot causing us to lose when the alliance got the flag afterwards.

So I accidently trolled 2 times with this spell.....

What are your uses for it? It seems like a real troll-toolkit spell, some guy even said to me: Troll mages by gripping them when they evocate. Ofcourse I won't do that because that's just being an asshole.

I use it for fun on my guild's Mages after they blink when running back after a wipe. But they know it's in good fun. If I do it in the Firelands I give them a lift on my motorbike to make it up to them.

On a Firelands related note I also use it on AFK auto runners who are about to run their AFK asses into the trash before Alysrazor >.<

i use it purely to grief guildies in raids
yeh it has some benefits, but its much more fun to grief your guildies while running back/slacking/afking
ryolith lava pool hurts if u want to drop someone in there
also bwd elevator had some great uses

The reason people get all pissy about it is because they shit their pants when you use it on them :P

It's pretty much only usefull if people are sleeping and not standing where they should be standing (stack up phases for example) or just standing in shit. It's also a decent tool to assist people kiting stuff, especially as holy.

Taking to long to stack? Life Grip. Standing in fire? Life Grip. Running faster than me after a wipe? Life Grip. Caught outside the battle area? Life Grip over that lava. Getting grouped up on in pvp? Life Grip. Yourself getting focused down cuz you're the healer? Life grip a friend to spread the wealth.

To be honest, those were two crappy uses of the spell. If you lifegripped the ret while he was healing himself, you interrupted his cast. Also, there's a good chance he was just trying to get some distance/LoS from people about to kill him, was it necessary to grip him back into the fight? With the flag cap, if they were holding the flag, I'm guessing the FC wasn't being pressured that hard, so you must have gripped him for the purpose of capping. Why take the decision upon yourself? I know it's our shiny new spell, but save it for getting ranged away from melee, getting FC's away from pursuers, others are unlikely to thank you for it since you don't seem to be using it that well.

Anyhow, that's just pvp useage. In raids, you use it on the tank as he goes to pull. No exceptions, no apologies.

The ret really wasn't near almost dead, he was at 60%. I thought I would heal him and save him some mana, since my heals are more efficient and heal for more. But the timing was bad, should have waited until he got dg-ed. (not that I knew he was going to get dg-ed beforehand).

Also I thought the fc was trolling us and capped it.

For the ret, feel free to heal him from a distance. If he's in range of lifegrip, he's in range of heals, and you really should save a 90 sec cd for when it's needed. For the cap, pay more attention. That was some pretty basic EotS strategy.

Uses in raids are very situational. Alysrazor fight it has it's uses, if the tank is miles away from a worm to feed an angry bird. Pulling out a mage that's aoeing and is getting smacked to death, a lifegrip can give you enough time to heal them.

Same with Shannox (heroic, not done normal) fights, if someone desperately needs to trap rageface, but are far away from a relevant trap, you can assist.

In pvp, it's application is more limited. Pulling a flag carrier along when they're being closed down on/stunlocked by the enemy is one situation. Other situations such as someone grabbing the flag and you gripping them up onto a balcony etc are good, but really need the other person to be aware of what you're going to do. With that said, doing it in a random bg with low communication is unwise as you may get a negative response.

If you're talking on vent/teamspeak then people will be less likely to freak out at a sudden change of direction/elevation.
